Sorrey I just made a mess up of the last two threads.
They shoud have read:
I have a K20 that may have a AF error that I must check out. I have read on this forum that it can be checked by using a focus chart. I could do with some advice on how to check it out, and what is the best chart to use.

The second: I've decided to see if I can live with. I'm not sure that -10 is quite enough adjustment, and I'm not happy that this amount of difference results in a noticeable discrepency between the sensor and my Katz Eye focusing screen.

I've had two brand new K20Ds from SRS and both require at least a -10 AF adustment for precise auto focusing with nearly all my lenses. The first was returned and may end up as a refurb, hopefully after being recalibrated by Pentax.I wonder why they were faulty in the 1st place.

Many thanks John. I have now found it in the manual. I really must spend some time reading the manual.Quote:
I am still stuggling with the settings on my K20. What do you mean by the Bright setting.
Press the Fn button and then press the OK button and you will have a choice of several modes that adjust the settings for particular purposes. Matt mentioned that the portrait setting worked well and I have been using the bright setting to perk up those winter landscapes.I am still stuggling with the settings on my K20. What do you mean by the Bright setting.

We haven't had much of a chance to use the K20D cameras we bought recently, but a few thoughts so far.
The quality is superb and the exposure is quite a bit more accurate. I have opted for the Bright setting at the moment, which adds a little more "zing" to the shots. We are both using Premium JPEG quality.
There are a number od minor improvements to handling, but the easier-to-use catch on the SD card compartment is actually quite a bit easier to get hold of.
The camera is very, very quiet in operation and I get the feeling that the vibration levels are significantly lower than with the K10D.
So far so good and we're both very pleased.

I have a DA 50-200 kit lense and am thinking of upgrading to DA 55-300 to use with my K20. Is it worth the upgrade?

You are correct - free delivery for Forum Members.
I always order by phone, not least because you can chat things through with Chris.
I believe that with the online ordering there is a separate 'Additional Instructions' box where you type Pentax User and your User Name.
The cost of delivery is then deducted.

Can you help. I think I have read some where on the forum that SRS gives free delivery to forum members. Is this correct? If I order on line, what evidence do they require or is it best to order by phone. Many thanks

I have a K20. In the link it states that the new firmware can be downloaded in the usual SD way. I have never done this before so if a new firmware is isued, how do you get it and how do you load it .

amazon has some for £595.95 body only. They are classed as S/H but they are new with damaged packaging.

If the AF is found to be way out, should I return the K20 to SRS?
What would be an acceptable error?
